Railway Tickets are cheaper now. Govt. has proposed IRCTC (online catering and ticket booking company, subsidiary of Indian Railway) to scrap service charges on booking of tickets done through its website www.irctc.co.in in order to boost prime minister's cashless economy project.
Recently Govt. of India took its first step towards making India a cashless economy by demonetizing ₹500 and ₹1000 currency notes on Nov 9, 2016. People are so used to cash based economy in India that they prefer to buy railway tickets in cash through railway ticket booking window, instead of booking them online even though latter is much convenient and faster way to book seats in train.

As per new proposal, no service charge will be levied for tickets booked online from Nov 23, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016. If you are interested in knowing current IRCTC charges click here.
The move will help to bring parity between the cost of a ticket bought from railway counter and that which is booked online, thus encouragi…

Each year many applicants apply for railway recruitment test and then wait for result to be declared by railway recruitment board. Each of the applicant want to see his or her railway result, and want to know if he is selected for a job in railway or not.

Now it is common that railway results are often searched online. But are the railway results only searched for finding whether or not one has passed the RRB exam? Or there is something else to it.

A rent agreement between a tenant and a landlord is a very important legal document. This agreement protects both parties in case of any controversy. Hence it is important that before you lend or occupy a home on rent, you should clear all terms with house owner or occupant. All the terms and conditions must be documented in advance. This document is called rent agreement or rent deed.

In particular you need to make sure that you don't ignore following conditions/ points when you rent or hire house on rent:

1. Full name of all the occupants must be mentioned on the agreement. It must be signed too by all involved. In particular when bachelors are involved in rental house accommodation, it must be clearly mentioned that if one of the bachelor leave house, others would pay for his absence. It must also have occupants permanent address (with ID proof), and all men occupying house must declare that they don't have any criminal record.

Govt. has banned 500 and 1000 rupees currency notes in India. People want to find ATM machines where 100 rupee notes are available. Without availability of small denomination currency notes i.e. Rs 100 and Rs 50 notes, people are unable to use money for their day to day expenses.

When people go to bank to exchange their 500 and 1000 rupee notes, bank doesn't exchange currency due to shortage of cash. Also their is a limit of how much currency you can exchange. You can withdraw maximum Rs 2500 per day and 24500 per week, as of now. But even this is not happening due to shortage of 100 rupee notes in banks. Also news of new 500 and 1000 rupee notes of currency is now circulating, but obviously it will take time for new currency notes to replace all the old currency notes.

Thus people are frustrated and despite standing in a queue outside banks and ATM machines for whole day they are unable to get currency notes required for day to day use. In this scenario people are looking for a …

Couple of examples would make it ultra clear. In normal days the third AC ticket from Delhi to Bhopal costs Rs 1045 only. But on Diwali it is costing Rs, 2500 i.e. the ticket is available at the premium of almost 1000 rupees.
